Why do we not see protests for releasing journalist Julian Assange?

"Almost as if", the media is controlled by the CIA.

So true!

Now I'm sort of kicking myself. Today I made /s/Agenda21_Agenda2030, an inch away from my other top choices that all seem more appropriate than ever (my wish list forthcoming in a post later today). Among those I was also considering making /s/Pareidolia - the tendency for incorrect perception of a stimulus as an object, pattern or meaning known to the observer - seeing faces in things, shapes in clouds, hearing voices in running water, static, or the hum of machines. Not only is there no shortage of amusing photos out there of faces in inanimate objects, or things in clouds, but there's also a serious side to it. I hear voices whispering often, only when I'm exceptionally exhausted but pushing through, falling asleep, waking up, or around the sound of static or running water. It really doesn't help when I have perpetual tinnitus in my right ear, made deaf by an infection in 2004. To the matter above, IMO, this term might also describe a lot of the manufactured mass hysteria, with everyone misperceiving things individually, tribally, and collectively - then I realized I also wanted to make a sub about OpArt, Optical Illusions, Hypnosis, Magic Tricks, Deception, Machiavellianism, etc etc etc - and it could all be simply under: /s/Illusions.

Pareidolia also has fascinating applications to /s/ArtificialIntelligence, another sub to be created by someone.
